back in july you said inflation was going to be temporary. i think a lot of americans are o wondering what your definition of temporary is. well, you're i being a wise guy a little bit. the reason for inflation isti the supply chains were cut off. it's going to be able to start t to taper off as we go through this year. and while biden makes empty promises about inflation off, well, small businesses are getting clobbered. my next guest has experienced firsthand here with me nowow is mary josephine, generosa manager and owner of rocko'sro pastry shop in new york city. mary josephine, i wanted to talk to a small business owner tonight , not a politician about this because people haveta to understand how it affects just the the possibility of a business surviving today. how hard has it been? le
like i was walking just yesterday and is beautiful girl rode by on a bicycle and one of the guys in the group ahead of me and says look at her. i wish i could be that bicycle seat. and i am like what? don't you think is it a little bit of an unrealistic goal? if you are going for it, why not just be aimed to to be the guy that is sleeping with her. maybe something that doesn't require sorcery. >> greg: i didn't think that was going to come up during the segment. tw, a lot of this crime come every time it's committed, it is fueled by homeless mentally ill people on the streets as if we can't do anything about it. they are to live as if they are like stray dogs from 1970s were dogs were -- we just have to live like it. >> lets they give the guy a little bit of a break, greg. fox's about the only place you can find a christmas tree. everything else is a tall douglas fir that identifies as a holiday tree.
assessment. that, you know, women in general have been overlooked. they've been pushed aside. historic number of women candidates running for office this cycle. the thematics are all the same. if you look at cavanaugh's polling numbers, historically unpopular supreme court nominee. this would add an agitation to the mix that would be problematic for republicans. the trick is if he were to withdraw, for instance. there's no talk of it as i'm picking up in my reporting. it would depress the republican base. they're in this bind where they have to stick with this guy a little bit politically, even though there are complications for obvious reasons. >> unless they could always a rouse the base by saying now, look if you don't vote, the democrats could take over the senate. i mean, republicans tend to react more to a supreme court nomination issue than democrats have in the past. >> there's no one single issue that is firing up this coming blue wave. there's a certain sub group

intemperate fringe elements where he now seems to sometimes lean. so i think mitt would be one of those guys saying, look, let me try to mold this guy a little bit. let me try to be supportive and nudge him toward the kind of policy he thinks prudent. >> guys, you've been great. we've got to rap it here. phil rucker and scot lehigh, thank you so much. we'll bring in some really cool strategists next. and if you listen to us in washington, d.c., you can listen to us on the room, bloomberg radio 99.1 p.m. we will be right back. when you find something worth waiting for, we'll help you invest to protect it for the future. financial guidance while you're mastering life. from chase, so you can.
room. >> i hate it. >> i stole it because it was so tacky. >> you know why? >> someone eats all our cheddar. >> i didn't make the sign. embarrassing. >> it's gone. >> go. >> we have to save time for this one. yes, we can. president obama spent the day in colorado and he, did a bunch of things. one of the things he did do, will you roll any of this. one of the things dedo, he was asked if he wanted a hit of a joint. watch. >> so he laughed it off and i guess there's no truth of the rumor he went back to that bar and found that guy a little bit later. >> that's terrible. >> i was kidding. >> i love a nerd fight more than anything. they are the best. there's one happening right now in washington, d.c. i'll side with courtland malloy. he's a columnist for "the washington post." he wrote about how bicycles are
